Instructions
Creating your Ground Beef Taco Skillet is simple. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, stirring frequently to break it up, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Incorporate the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in Beans and Corn: Add the black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine.
5. Add Tomatoes and Seasoning: Pour in the diced tomatoes with green chilies and sprinkle the taco seasoning. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Melt the Cheese: Remove from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
7. Garnish: Once the cheese has melted, garnish with fresh cilantro.
8. Serve: Dish out portions straight from the skillet.
